I always find it really bizarre when a member "quits mfc for good" and right around the same time signs up here... on a cam model forum and completely immerses themselves in the world via a different avenue.
I don't know your reasons for leaving Maniac, but it seems replacing MFC with an MFC forum is a little counter productive.
Can only answer for myself (Limitting too much detail).
My time camming took me from quite perverted to much healthier. Individual models I have already thanked, but in a general sense joining ACF for a while seemed a good way to add a little more. I have known of ACF for a long time, it was both a clever business decision Amber made to create it, and a nice way to help other models.
Would be nice to see ACF more inclusive of other successful styles of camming (am sure models only would be, am only talking of the public side), those models working from outside the studio system but with studio background seem to struggle for much support here or anywhere. This is why Ambers Troll (she is also the only model to label me that).
I joined because I was worried for an ACF model at the time. I did not want to intrude or interfere directly, and I see all is ok now. In this sense joined ACF for a reason now obsolete.
In terms of ending my time camming, have had moments over the years, but returned to it. The time before this I returned because I was denying myself the people I really wanted to enjoy. This time I lost all interest (and belief in my own fantasies), started late in 2013, had one good pvt on 1st April 2014 (faked it a bit with her), no tips or spending since. Am still open to returning to it, but it seems increasingly unlikely.
I would not say ACF is a replacement, but is a way to hold on a bit longer to those I have lost. There is an element of making your time camming want to mean something more too. I used to like forums quite a lot before camming, in some senses I am returning to an old love, the years of camming just allow me to be here easily and add to discussion.
There is no fantasy I am taking from being here than the occassional retrospective one as memories (I have already paid for those), I am not watching cams as a guest and getting off. If you were suggesting I was taking for free what I used to pay for, this is not the case.

And him drawing attention to the fact that he "quit for good" on a forum full of MFC models and members further proves that he isn't over it.
This is fair comment AmberC., was a big part of my life for a long time. It takes time to adjust. Other forums on camming would have been inappropriate for me, thanks for allowing non models here too.
Should I have not made the point about leaving? ... am a little unsure now. I just wanted to be clear, open, and honest about it. I was aware it would open me up to attack and suspicion on that too. I don't hate camming, or models. I mention it as a display of honesty, because now I can be about it.
I am only aware of about 5-10 ACF models, and less than 5 of those here know of me at all as a member. I wont hurt anyone with any of my comments (these 5 successful models know I respect them) related to camming/ chat.
I am genuinely curious about this topic, it was one of my first. And this one is personal and quite real to me, want to know if I will find myself returning again too. If I don't also want to know where this will lead my fantasy life.
Sorry for the length, and hope all was clear...thanks to both of you
